    It was very native, like camping outside. Only a bathroom and bedroom. Just as pictured. Very restrictive parking. A lot of glass missing in the windows beautiful location and views. Quiet neighborhood

    We booked this property four days before our trip. Check-in time is 4pm. We called the owner and he said the room was not ready and to wait 3-4 hours; there was not much to do about it so we looked for a restaurant while waiting. We arrived at the property around 8pm and room was still not ready. During our walk-through with John the owner, we noticed that the bathroom lacked proper ventilation; plastic shower curtain was moldy and towels were rough, frayed and very worn out. Toaster oven was really dirty and so was the microwave oven. The refrigerator was disconnected and he said to only connect it if we were planning on using it because electricity is expensive. Couches were very dusty and had several stains. John tried to show us the TV but did not get it to work. Bed linens had stains and pillows were flat as a pancake and smelled stale. The ceiling fan was not operational and had a thick crust of dust. It was very hot and stuffy inside. John brought in a fan after another until one of them finally worked. To cool down the room he opened all curtains, windows and sliding doors, eliminating any modicum of privacy we could have. To increase the flow of air, John indicated that the screened double-door back entrance had to remain open. There were two large camping tents fully setup on the back yard; we did not ask if they were rented, but did not feel comfortable leaving the back door open without any secure locks. We didn’t expect a luxury experience, but we did not stay because the place was very dirty, lacked proper ventilation and had zero privacy. John tried to show us the “original” room we rented, which still was not the one in the pictures we saw when looking at the rental. This room was not clean nor well ventilated either; bath curtains were moldy with no screen on door nor window. John did not comply with the contract. We offered for him to keep the clean-up fee and to refund the rest to us; he said that he might refund the money if he managed to rent the place. Please note that the room had not been rented prior to our last minute inquiry. He tried to ascribe the situation to our inability to sustain “hardship” and that we would only be comfortable in an air-conditioned room. We lost 480 Dollars and ended up driving around in the middle of the night trying to find suitable overpriced lodgings. In contrast, our stay in Hilo Mar 19-22 at Property #990627 was incredibly pleasant in a clean well ventilated (not air-conditioned) room.

    Shared balcony and sitting area allows you to interact with other guests, if that is your thing. Amazing views of the ocean. Not a luxury house rental, a bit run down and in need of renovations, but clean enough and the property manager is friendly and accommodating.

    Enjoyed staying here very much, got loads of inside information about the island. The house is located in a quite neighbourhood with a few turkeys as well :-) Good place to explore the west coast of Big Island.
